It’s the Friday before the holiday break. Normally, I’d be breathing a sigh of relief. No dance for two whole weeks! No getting up early for school!  Less driving! Less stress! No homework hassles! But no…not in this household. Instead, I’ll be managing my delinquent son’s midterm study schedule (and habits…or lack thereof) and his […]

December 3, 2008 by ninaamir Leave a Comment

OMG! Julian’s Nutcracker performances are this weekend already. When he performed with Ballet San Jose, the performances were the week before Christmas (Or was it for two full weeks?), but we came back from Thanksgiving in NY to a crazy tech week schedule. Thank goodness I’ve completed my 30-day writing blog. And we don’t even just […]

Holiday Gifts for Guys Who Dance – Got Any Ideas?

November 17, 2008 by ninaamir Leave a Comment

Okay, Julian just got a notice that the studio/company is doing Secret Santas – gifts costing about $30.
